Love it!Good way to avoid getting bogged down in semantic analysis and suchlike.It's very interesting how Myspace pages are in many places becoming a tool for authentication. What happens when people finally stop using their Myspaces?! It's happening... slowly but surely.

But the MusicBrainz GUID allows us to publish one news feed for that artist at a stable, globally unique resource - the BBC Music Beta artist profile.We are hoping that as we improve our artist pages people will start linking directly to them and we can pull the MusicBrainz GUID straight out of the URL.
